Sad to report the death of North Edinburgh activist Gwen Chrystal, who died on Wednesday after a short illness.

Gwen, who was from Royston Wardieburn, was an active campaigner on a host of community issues over the years in Greater Pilton; from the Western General Action Group – which fought to retain A&E, Maternity and Paediatric services at the local hospital – to the current North Edinburgh Fights Back activities Gwen could always be counted on to rally to the cause.

A popular figure and a warm and friendly face, Gwen will be missed by her friends and colleagues in the North Edinburgh community and our condolences go out to her family.

We’ll post funeral details when we have them.
